Journal ArticleDOI
Mesoporous CeO2 : Synthesis by nanocasting, characterisation and catalytic properties
TL;DR: In this article, mesoporous CeO2 was synthesized by using CMK-3 carbon as a structure matrix, and the obtained products exhibit uniform pore walls with a diameter of ca. 5nm in a two-dimensional hexagonal periodic arrangement, as well as interparticle porosity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on the state of iron oxide nanoparticles in MCM-41 and MCM-48 silica materials
Ralf Köhn,Ralf Köhn,Daniela Paneva,Momtchil Dimitrov,Tanya Tsoncheva,Ivan Mitov,Christo Minchev,Michael Fröba +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, phase transformations in and catalytic properties of mesoporous MCM-41 and MCM 48 silica molecular sieves modified with iron oxide were studied by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen physisorption, Mossbauer spectroscopy, temperature-programmed reduction, and methanol decomposition as a catalytic test.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic activity of Co/MCM-41 and Co/SBA-15 materials in toluene oxidation
TL;DR: In this paper, the pH of the impregnation solution influences the surface charge of the mesoporous support and therefore determines the strength of interaction between the cobalt precursor and the support.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Cu/MCM-41 and Cu/MCM-48 mesoporous catalysts by FTIR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that CO adsorption on the hydrogen-reduced sample provokes formation of Cu 0 -CO species characterized by a band at 2122 cm −1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cobalt-modified mesoporous MgO, ZrO2, and CeO2 oxides as catalysts for methanol decomposition.
TL;DR: The best catalytic activity and selectivity of methanol decomposition to CO and hydrogen are registered for Co/CeO(2) and the support effect on the state and catalytic behavior of the loaded cobalt oxide nanoparticles is discussed.
